In an interview with THR, Joy and Nolan teased their vision for Season 3 and what fans can expect from Westworld moving forward. According to Nolan, it's easier to take storytelling risks when most of the series' main characters aren't human.

"I think it's a radical shift," Nolan said. "What's compelling and appealing about these characters is that they're not human. As we said in the show, humans are bound by the same loops the hosts are, in some ways even smaller.

"You couldn't expect human characters to withstand and survive the kind of story that we're telling."

Nolan and Joy also briefly touched on Dolores' new story, as the character successfully made it out of the Westworld park in the Season 3 finale. The new season will see Dolores now having a "larger set of goals" in the real world.

"I think clearly with Dolores, as she's laid out, there is a longer view here, a larger set of goals," Nolan said. "They're existential. They span eons. And that's a fascinating level of story to engage in."
